FAQs:

1. Where do Rok Cork products come from? ROK Cork products come from the outer bark of the evergreen oak known by the Latin name Quercus (oak) Suber (cork), which grows in Southern Europe, 300,000 pounds are harvested annually, with Portugal having the highest harvest percentage of 61.3%.
2. Does Cork harvesting cause damage to the cork trees? Not at all. When the cork reaches maturity, it begins to separate naturally from the tree. This process occurs during the spring/summer months when the weather is very dry in the Montado of Portugal. Then using a process refined over centuries, workers assist in the release by harvesting the cork with a special technique and machete, leaving behind a healthy tree. As soon as the tree is harvested, it begins the process all over again. In order to ensure that the trees are healthy, the first, initial harvesting of the cork does not occur until the tree reaches 80 cms in circumference and a maturity of 25 years of age.
3. What happens to the Cork trees after they are harvested? Once the harvest takes place the last digit of the corresponding year in which the tree is stripped is painted, this will ensure that the next harvest will be in due time. The trees are left for nine years, the necessary time frame to reproduce new bark. Cork trees can live anywhere from 200-300 years, making them a one of a kind sustainable product.
4. How does the bark become usable for making handbags? Once harvested the bark is stacked and dried for six months in the open air, the selected planks are stacked in piles to be exposed to sun, wind and rain. During this period, the cork texture stabilizes then it is sorted by thickness and quality. The planks of bark go through a process of boiling and steaming, this will ensure that it rids the material of insects, parasites and dirt. The procedure also removes the tanning agent, which increases the flexibility of the material. After 3 weeks of resting the planks are dry again and then heat and high pressure is used to press the cork into thick blocks that are later sliced into thin sheets. The sheets are cut into panels, sanded and steamed onto a cotton-based core material.  No harsh dyes or chemicals are involved. The long process brings to life Cork fabric: A durable, natural, fashionable material that reflects an aspiration for a world more in tune with nature.
